What is direct care?
Subscription based primary care. Pay a monthly membership fee, and in exchange get unparalleled access to your doctor through appointments, telehealth, or secure communication. All appointments are included in the membership, rather than billed individually.
What are we about?
Change the way healthcare is delivered.
It’s no secret that the US healthcare system is failing people. It is plagued by financial conflicts of interest that inflate costs and prioritize revenue over patient care and general wellness. Direct care offers freedom from the traditional healthcare system.
Attack the chronic disease epidemic.
Are you getting “healthcare” or “sick care?” Traditional healthcare is limited by short visits with your provider that often feel incomplete end with a medication prescription. Chronic problems do not have to be a life sentence. High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and others are on the list of chronic diseases that in many cases are treatable, preventable, and reversible.
Direct access.
Direct care prioritizes the relationship between the patient and doctor. Members of the Fortis DPC family are granted exceptional access to their doctor. There are no middle men. See the same doctor every time. Get in to see your doctor in a timely fashion, often same day or next day. Appointments are unrushed. Experience the flexibility of in-person visits and telehealth.
High quality care.
Comprehensive primary care services from a board certified family medicine physician. Your doctor takes care of a limited amount of patients, enabling more time and more touchpoints with each patient. Happy doctors take better care of their patients.
Affordable care.
A full year of membership in a direct care clinic costs significantly less than the average insurance plan deductible. Lab tests, medications, and imaging are available at significantly discounted prices.
True preventative care.
How long does your doctor spend talking with you about your nutrition? Your exercise habits? Your sleep? Your stress levels?
